Even with this limited time and only three years fishing experience under my belt I am top rod on this water with over 100 carp this season. I have been putting a lot of time and thought into my bait, since using your new bait making secrets course!
Most of the sessions I fish are in the evenings for 2-3 hours as I don’t have much time as me and a friend started a new business in the last year. I have managed a couple of 24 hour and 12 hour sessions though, all the time being spent on my clubs medium hard water.
I have had numerous and repeat 20s with multiple 20s in a session time and time again in the last year. Beating my pb many times it now stands at 27lb 12oz.
My best session was a 4 hour evening fish in August. It was a hot sunny afternoon around 4.30pm no breeze and only a 4 carp out that day. I spotted a few carp gathering in a small strip of shade off the back of the island. I cast my two rods to these with small pva bags with this new paste in them and the hook version attached. The first take came in 5min and I had 18 carp up to 24lb and had to constantly juggle the rods to keep up! All that stopped me catching more was running out of bait as this was only a 250g test batch! Yes, I guess knowledge really is power Tim!
Using your course I no longer think of bait as a object but rather chemical trail of triggers, attractants, palatants, acids, sugars, enzymes and micro organisms in a solution leaving a map to my hook and its concentrated zone. My baits as you say are now form following function rather than function following form as in not being round inert hard balls of doom!
To quote Bruce Lee “Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water,”. If you add bait to a lake it must become water, it must become the lake! Lol!
I have no problem whatsoever with you using any of my emails in part or full or any of my photos it’s the least I can do for you Tim!
Kind regards and many thanks for the knowledge and influence you have passed on to me! Being different and unique and far more knowledgeable really does pay!
Thank you for your help and inspiration your course has improved everything so fast!
